Melee builds, often referred to as Strikers, focus on close-quarters combat with powerful weapons. These builds prioritize Strength and Dexterity for weapon scaling, and Vitality and Fortitude for survivability. Key Blood Codes for Strikers include Fighter, Atlas, Scathach, and Prometheus. Weapons like Greatswords, Hammers, and Halberds are common choices. Essential Gifts include buffs like 'Adrenaline' for increased damage, 'Iron Will' for defense, and 'Bridge to Glory' for significant weapon enhancement. Blood Veils like the Ogre's Bane or Impulse Anchor provide good defensive stats and parry capabilities. Focus on mastering Gifts that enhance your physical damage, stamina management, and survivability to become an unstoppable force on the front lines.
